It's a Monster!

Lesson learned today: Always remove all foreign crap from the dial before taking the picture.

It's not the camera. It's the lens. :thumbsup:

[Launch Mini]

I only have fixed lens camera's.:banghead:
I know, once you get a good camera body, the lenses are sure to follow.
Sort of like the Panerais/Straps of the camera world.

...It's not the camera. It's the lens. :thumbsup:

And the person behind the lens. Awesome photos, Chip! :thumbsup: :cheers:

I've just ordered a set of telephoto, wide-angle and macro lenses for my camera and they should arrive early next week. It's time to do some macro shooting!

Fantastic picture Seiko best bang for the buck on this planet today.

Great set of pictures Chip!! :thumbsup: Certainly with the set-up you have you get great depth of field so everything is in focus. My "cheater" method makes that quite impossible. I think an SLR is on my list......

It's not the SLR. You can do that with a point and shoot. (sort of. you can't get that close without a macro lens)
All you do to get most of it in focus is shoot at really high f numbers. Like f22. And keep the shutter open forever. If you look at the second hand, you will see that I had it open at least five seconds.

Did you use the self-timer for that shot?

[SLRdude]

Since Nikon remote controls are impossible to find, I use the self timer feature. So to answer your question Ed, yes.
At that kind of magnification, any shake in the camera will virtually ruin the image.

I use a ten seconds timer, and that gives me plenty of time to get reflector cards in place etc.

Also, to get those lume shots, this is what I do:
I shoot with all the lights on, and during the 10 seconds timer wait I use an external flash to charge the lume really good.
Half way throughout the shutter being open, I turn all the lights off.
